NFL.com - Cam Newton has not won a Playoff game.

I'm confused

Did we not win our wildcard playoff game last season?

 

Btw I'm tired of other people talking and analyzing about other people money

​Yea I agree it's pretty bad, almost as bad as huddlers inferiority complex having to bring Luck into so many conversations regarding Cam.

What did David Newton say about CJ? Sorry i don't know. I stopped following that idiot because is tweets were annoying

​he said that charles johnson had lost a step and had been moved to the right end so he could face the less athletic RT. only problem is he doesn't know that when you play DE on the right side, you are facing the LT, not the RT.

At 28, he’s not as fast as he was when Carolina selected him in the third round of the 2007 draft. That’s not a knock on Johnson, still at 6-foot-2 and 285 pounds the leader of the Panthers defense. But a lost step makes it tougher to get around the opposing team’s left tackle, who often is in the 6-5, 320-pound range.

Moving Johnson against less athletic right tackles might create more opportunities for him to get to the quarterback.

​I dont know about that, Dalton, Smith and Manning have all been to the pro bowl at least. Lindley may never start a game again. And did he leave out Manning intentionally to try to make the point seem stronger?

Anywho, we know it's a team game and QB vs QB hardly is a decent measurable.

​Dalton and Smith aren't THAT much of a step up from Lindley.  I imagine Manning was an oversight.

I was listening to Polian's take on the Cam contract and he said the exact same thing.  And was not corrected.

Polian's love of Luck was literally making me nauseous.

All the analysts want to figure out how this contract screws Seattle/Indy.  I say G'man should be doubly congratulated for locking up a franchise qb with a relatively cap friendly contract while screwing two playoff rivals.  Yet nobody talks about that.

The Colts defense beat Manning. Luck just so happened to be on the field when they won.  

so when he beats a meh team, it's 'oh they were just a meh team.' but when he beats a good team, it's 'he didn't do it, the team did it.' sounds a lot like the same BS hater statements made about Cam.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
